So a whodunnit it shall be. Thank you for voting, I am more grateful than you can possibly know for taking this decision out of my hands.
Now it is time to determine the setting in which the crime will occur. Starting from chapter 3 or so, our sleuth will be starting a new job. Where some bodies will start appearing. What job will this be?
I know there's a diamond industry in Surat... and there must be a Mumbai stock exchange, right? Haven't the faintest clue if Hyderabad has any sort of pearl trade at all. Which should conveniently answer all questions about whether I know anything about diamonds, stocks or pearls. (Hint: answer begins with N and ends with O.) But this is NaNoWriMo, and I am not letting any of that stop me from making up all manner of industry practices, ethics and in-jokes needed to give this novel that essential feel of realism. All I need to know is which industry I need to make these up for.
Vote!
